Purpose-driven leaders think differently. While they might consider themselves servant leaders, they don't view their role as just serving others. They serve a higher purpose — a goal that isn't defined by a single action.
Servant leadership says, "You’re in your role to serve others." This sounds great! It's hard to say "No" to that. It's a noble pursuit, but it leads to sacrifice, losing focus, and eventually, burnout.
Purpose-driven leadership says, "You’re here to make a difference." This requires more 👉strategic👈 thinking in terms of where to place your efforts. It gets everyone thinking bigger than themselves. And it empowers you to say "No" to certain things, while saying "Yes" to what matters.
If you feel like your light is beginning to burn out, try reconnecting with your purpose. Having a clear purpose isn't just a cool thing to say—it helps protect against burnout.
When leaders and teams know WHY they're doing what they're doing, it keeps them motivated and resilient when things get tough.
At Camp Purpose, we teach teams and their leaders the tools to prevent burnout. By starting from a place of empathy, teams can learn to shoulder each others' burdens and work more effectively.

How can small businesses benefit from purpose?
No business is too small to be purpose-driven. In fact, small businesses are better able to get all their employees on board and working toward a shared goal.
Your company's purpose isn't what you put on a poster or a business card; it's what you live by.
Right now, your team might be working towards a shared purpose — but it's one that you haven't articulated yet. That's not a bad thing. In fact, it can be a huge source of potential.
A big part of our curriculum at Camp Purpose is helping companies at every step in their purpose journey articulate and activate a single purpose statement that feels tailor-made for their team and culture. That way, when you share it with your team, it feels natural and inspiring, allowing you to simplify conversations around your strategy and culture.
Is "purpose" a buzzword?
Once upon a time, some companies set themselves apart by staking out a claim as "purpose-driven." Fast forward a few decades, and a few too many companies have jumped on the bandwagon. Where does that leave the rest of us?
If you're running or building or dreaming about a purpose-driven company, you owe it to your team to walk the walk. Show them how what you're building is different than the default competitor down the street. Then, give them the chance to build it alongside you, and you have a teammate for life.
Word-of-mouth happens within organizations, too. Give your people the time and space to talk, and you'd be amazed just how easy it is to get them aligned behind a shared purpose.
The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health used Camp Purpose as a moment to build lasting trust between the organization's Aorta Advocates: the people on the front lines who have made raising awareness their life's work.
The result was a moving, emotional week where the entire organization realized just how big an impact they were making — and how much they had in common.
When @johnritterfoundation for Aortic Health came to Camp Purpose, we knew the conversations would be serious. Not only were we training a new cohort of Aorta Advocates, we were sharing stories of grief, love, and loss.
So, we made sure to cut loose in between those discussions. Not only does time outdoors help your brain “reset,” it also helps you learn and build connections. That way, the benefits of a team retreat can last long after it’s over.

Why get out of the office together? Because it works.
When teams get a chance to disconnect and reconnect, it reinforces the sense of community. This can be a powerful source of motivation that many companies haven't taken the time to tap into.

You could say that strong teams are built on a foundation of trust. But that would be still underselling it. Trust is EVERYTHING: it’s the foundation, the bricks, the mortar, the roof, the doorknobs. All of it. 🏠 Trust between everyone in the organization is essential.
We’ve built and scaled teams in all kinds of verticals. Now, we’ve got the toolkit to build teams that trust each other and grow without the typical growing pains. Learn more about it at the link in our bio. 🔗

You'd be amazed how much potential is sitting around on your team, just waiting for the chance to come to life. Camp Purpose gives you a place to pause the day-to-day, come together, and focus that energy on a shared goal that grows your business.
Your brand is not your logo. It's not your typeface, color palette or style guide. Your brand is your purpose, values, and goals.
Purpose is the one essential thing.
Everything else is just table dressing.

We help teams articulate and activate their shared purpose, turning it into a valuable, time- and cost-saving tool for brand-building, recruitment, and more.
"Purpose" is not a marketing buzzword. It's not ESG. It's not CSR. It's not a tax write-off. It's not a mission statement.
You should feel it in your bones. You should be proud to tell friends and family. It should motivate people, inside your company and out.
We're here to help you articulate and activate a purpose that doesn't just move people. It moves the needle, too. You ready?🏔
